Lilac and Ivory

Okay. This just randomly came to me.

Fireworks

Even though Silver didn't have to, he decided to spend the Fireworks Festival with Blaze, instead of the rest of the town. Everyone was still sort of hesitant around the pyrokinetic, so she decided to keep a low profile. They sat on a woody hill out in the forest, but not too far to miss the fireworks.

A blanket had been laid out, and a picnic basket. The view was beautiful, showing the smudgy gray city down below, with its endless field of lava in front, but also showing the beautiful night sky. The moon was full and bright, and the stars seemed to be twinkling.

Silver got excited, pointing out a shooting star as it blazed across the cosmos, transforming the sky with its dusty brilliance.

"That's so beautiful." Blaze replied, sitting down with him on the blanket. Silver grinned.

"I know. The fireworks should start soon."

Right on cue they did. The sky was lit up with amazing shapes. Red, gold, orange, yellow, teal, green. The colors went on forever, existing in their glory for only a few moments before the darkness pushed them away. But another always rose to replace that shining light.

Blaze turned to look at Silver. The fireworks reflected in his gold eyes, changing their color into a mixture of hues. He looked utterly fascinated. She knew full well that Silver was still young, and even though he tried to act responsible like a hero should, these things still amazed him.

He turned to look at her, noticing her eyes on him.

"I feel really dumb." He said simply, turning to look at the sky again.

"Why?"

"I went up here, brought a blanket, but forgot to get another." He laughed. "I'm kinda cold."

"With the lava so near?" She said skeptically.

Silver shrugged. "We're kinda high up."

"Heat rises."

Blaze looked at the sky as the fireworks continued.

"How can they celebrate? The world is so…"

Silver shrugged. "The best gift is the gift of hope. If they can still celebrate, then it's not too late."

She nodded. Blaze always felt relaxed with him. Before she knew it, she had leaned against his shoulder, and he wrapped his arm around her, gently stroking her fur.

They watched the fireworks together on that grassy hill, and Silver didn't feel cold anymore.
